    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I can make the same statement about the eight smaller factory bolts, "I have NEVER had the eight smaller bolts come loose", and I do not use lock tight or lock washers, and at the end of a great flying day the planes go through a complete inspection, Besides I like the eight smaller bolts, that...

    Ericb. Do your self a favor, Ditch the Heavy aluminum landing gear and order a set of TT19 tetherite (medium size gear) The tetherite Krazy Legs, will not twist or bend like any of the aluminum gear manufactured to date, and they are lighter ! , just my 2 cents worth

    I love to do hover to landings with all my planes from my small electric Night Vision and other's to my 65" profiles on up to my largest gassers. I use the profiles for practice they are more forgiving then a 50 to 100cc gasser. I would never try this with my larger gassers with out all the...
